Creativity

Question 3

Creativity is important now and for our future. I believe that creativity is a very important topic for our schools. Kim, a professor at the College of William and Mary, has reported that," the scores of younger children in America, from kindergarten through sixth grade , have had a decline that is 'most serious' ". I believe that creativity is an important fundamental to be taught. Lacking creativity can be crucial. Creativity embraces imagination and keeps you open-minded. Creativity helps you think outside the box.
Creativity can be useful for so many things, such as testing new cures for cancer. It simply gets you out of your comfort zone. Having creativity will make you test new items that have never been tested. Yes you make mistakes, but learning from your mistakes  what gets you that much closer to that new cure. The article states." All around us are matters of national and international importance that are crying out for creative solutions, from saving the Gulf of Mexico to bringing peace to Afghanistan to delivering health care.", creativity is being embraced all around the world for peace, health care, and many more reasons.
A class focusing on creativity should be held at school. If everyone would take this creativity class, the world would be so much different. I think it is required for students to take this creativity class because it can help " contribute original ideas of others." Creativity is not something that can be taught, but rather be given a change to flourish. It should be taught in Elementary Schools so children can grow with that throughout their lives and continue to be creative. A professor at the college of William and Mary says that, " Scores of younger children in America from kindergarten and sixth grade... is 'most serious'." This is not a good sign. Some students automatically come with the creativity in them, and they have an open mind, but for others, it has to be taught. It has to be taught because for some reason or another it's not in them and they should have the ability to think outside the box fro the benefit of their future.
Having a creativity class would help so much because according to a report in Newsweek.com,  creativity quotient has been going down worldwide since 1990. This is a problem because the world can reach so much more people thinking and being creative.
Overall I think a creativity class should be mandatory at a young age. I believe that when children are growing and their brains are developing, at that moment they should develop these skills at school. Children are sponges just waiting fro new habits and lessons to learn. Teachers should help them create roots which they can use to think creatively. After all, playing it safe has never made a historical person
